I've got a bunch of tools I've used once. 24" pipe wrench; compound wire cutters (used it to cut some #2 wire, but don't have plans to do that again in the near future).

Extra Ryobi Drill, because it came with the lithium kit. Used it once to try it out, but was unhappy with it.

I had a crown stapler for a year, and didn't use it until last weekend (got it as part of a kit and never had a need).

I 6 Jet deep reach C-clamps because they were on sale, but have only used like 2 of them.

I bought one of the Senco collated screw guns on clearance a couple weeks ago. Haven't used it yet, but plan to when I finally fix some of the holes I cut in my garage for wiring (hopefully if I have time when the weather gets warmer and I can tape).

Five full size shop vacs and two smaller ones.
Five routers: four Porter Cables and one Ryobi. Bought the Ryobi for $35.00 at HD clearance, never been out of the box.
Steel City mortising machine used it once and switched to primarily using dowels.
Eight or ten spoke shaves, bought two more today - no reason why.
Four or five drawknives.
TS2410 LS bought this fall - used once - sits in my job trailer.
Two extra Ryobi drills.

It's been my experience that whenever I get rid of something that I haven't used in a while or have yet to use, within a week of getting rid of it a job comes up that I need it for. So, now, unless it broken, I get rid of nothing cause I'll need it next week.

I decided to change calling the bathroom the "John" and renamed it the "Jim". I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.

I don't drink, do drugs, gamble or cheat on my wife. I always like to run that list before defending my collection of tools, machines and flashlights(don't ask). I've lost count of how many times my wife has said"What are you going to do with that?", "Did you really need that?", "You are never going to use that!". My best come back is "Oh Yeah!". At least I'm not like some of my neighbors who don't have any tools and have to pay for all their repairs. We don't get many hurricanes or tornadoes in CT, but if we do get one I am prepared with chainsaws, generator, propane stove, plenty of flashlights and everything else I'll need. Hey, how about all the tools and machines we still would like to have? I want a big , real big log splitter, giant leaf blower (9hp), ATV with snow plow, big shed(with electricity for the air conditioner), dove tail machine(just in case I want to make some drawers) concrete mixer, more chainsaws, pickup truck, boat, snowmobile, jetski, big chipper shredder. That should do it for now.
